FEELING BLUE? MAKE A LIST!

Back to reality with a bang for me today....having to face redundancy as I had kind of expected but not quite accepted. So not to dwell on it & be sad I'm going to make "a list of me" instead - inspired by the wonderful Abigail A. Percy blog that I always look forward to reading.

Here's some of my loves....
